My First $1000.00 Day On Azoogle

I think I remember him saying he had maybe a dozen campaigns, each with multiple ad groups...I don't remember for sure, but regardless of exact numbers, he's bidding on many more than 150 keywords

Regardless, all keywords are not the same...The keywords you're using will determine the impressions you receive. I could bid on 1 keyword and get more impressions than somebody bidding on 10,000 keywords, just matters what you're bidding on.

 

Yeah, but you would be paying about $.50 a click which may not convert that well. I'm pretty sure that ALL keywords that receive heavy traffic cost over $.10 a click. He claims he pays under that. How is that possible? I'm not so sure exactly how Adwords works but how do you get cheaper PPC? He says to find un-exploited niches but if the niche is unclaimed, who would be searching for it nevermind clicking on your ads.

 

The only way I can figure on this is that he's bidding on about 20,000 phrases that are in the categories he wants. Please let me know if you have other ideas on this. How else can you get that many visitors to your site?

 

Nevermind, maybe this is what I should be looking at:

Take out a piece of paper and use whatever sources you have available to you.

Write down 100, 200, 500 etc niches.

Make each niche a CN only campaign.

Build out 10-25 ad groups for that niche, all of which revolve around the concept of that niche.

Use Keyword Tool and put no more then 150 keywords per group.

Bid .40 to start across the board, which means your avg cpc will be between .25-.30.

Monitor for activity/conversions.

If nothing, create another 500 niches, rinse, and repeat.



I get between $15 - $xx per lead. I don't believe I said the max since it's a private offer I am running and I'm not sure about the politics when it comes to private offers.

 

If your month budget is low, will that bring down the amount of exposure you get? Also, you said you pay under $.10 a click. How is that possible?

 

I slowly weaned down the winning niches.

Make each campaign $100, if there's no action after 300 clicks kill it.

 

Nevermind! I'm too much of an Adwords newbie I guess. Just figure out how it works. I upgraded to "standard edition" about an hour ago and I'm starting to get the hang of things. I'm bidding on 1,200 related phrases and they're letting me get $.15 a click on 1,000 of those. I also have the delivery method set to "accelerated". Is that good?

 

If I bid solely on the word "wholesale" or "wholesale product" and set my daily limit to $20, would I show up a lot more just for those keywords?

 

ok so I just read the entire thread all the way through and if you really want to be successful at this you will too. And you will also do much more reading instead of always trying to find a quick easy way to be successful. And to all the poeple that ask him to reveal his secret steps, forget about that and listen to what he is saying, try something new and unique instead of following others. Come up with your own two successful steps for geting conversions. I am just now looking into this seriously and have already learned so much by simply reading this ENTIRE thread. This is going to take a lot of research and a lot of time. This really is one of the best places to learn what you need. Thanks for all the help aj22.

 

Hey! I just made a sale a minute after I shut down my ad campaign to rethink my keywords! After you start a new campaign, how long does it take to become active?

 

Oh man! Using Adwords is almost like playing a tweaking game. If your ad doesn't bring in enough clicks for the number of impressions, Google automatically brings up your CPC. In a way it kind of makes sense, but I'm sure many people find it very confusing.

 

That's pretty impressive... but how long have you been spending $500/day on Adwords? Have you got a big loss to repay from your previous attempts? Anyhow, well done - it shows wgat hard work and perseverance can do.

 

I believe you mentioned earlier that you set your ads to only appear throughout the content network. Does that work better?

 

Yeah, I read the entire thread yesterday. I've got two pages of notes.

My head is spinning trying to figure a way to pull it all together. I think I blew a synapse in my brain...my head is definitely full. If I learn one more thing, I will forget my phone number.

I did launch about half a dozen test campaigns last night based on different algorhythms and theories.

Still no impressions from CN, though. I always start out with a min bid of $0.05 and work my way up, though. I guess I should try starting at $0.40 and working my way down.

I've got three kids, though, so I just don't have time to sit in front of the PC and monitor the results constantly. I'm always afraid I'll have blown through my daily budget by the time I come back to check and adjust the bids.

I'm also only putting 50 - 100 KW per adgroup with each campaign having only 2 or 3 adgroups. I could get more out of KE but it just seems like more than that would be overkill and not very well targeted to my niche. I also thought I read on another PPC forum that CN only looks at the first 50 KW.

Can anyone confirm or deny that?

 

bid $0.40 still profit? I doubt it. 0.40*80 =$32!

 

Bidding $0.40 does not mean that you pay $0.40 for every single click

I've got a campaign on the content network bidding $0.46 with an average CPC of $0.17

 

That sounds right to me. It's my understanding that Adwords assigns a theme to each Ad Group based on the first 50 terms, so if your Ad Group is about cat food, you want it to look like:

cat food stores
cat food places
cat food recipes
cat food stuff

Adwords will then assign "cat food" to the Ad Group. For some reason only having one keyword such as "cat food stuff" wouldn't be enough to assign a theme.

 

I've got a campaign on the content network bidding $0.01 with an average CPC of $0.02. Why?

 

who knows
